Former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has stated his intention to be a "candidate of unity" from the first round of the 2027 presidential election, without formally announcing his candidacy. During a visit to Caen, he spoke of his desire to bring people together beyond political divides.
Aged 72, the former head of government has been preparing a return to the political scene for several months. He is highlighting his experience, particularly on international issues, to distinguish himself in a political landscape he considers fragmented.
A strategy focused on bringing people together
Dominique de Villepin believes that the current political landscape is polarized between extremes, leaving room for a unifying candidacy. He states his intention to embody an alternative by appealing to a broader electorate from the first round.
Without specifying a timeline for a possible official entry into the campaign, he indicated he was waiting for the opportune moment to declare his candidacy. The former foreign minister also emphasized the importance of international issues in voters' perceptions ahead of the 2027 elections.
